Description
View of Temple of the Bearded Man on the north side of the Ball Court at Chichen Itza, Mexico. "At the Northern end of the Grand Ball Court is a small temple; three tiers flanked with two large columns. Inside the temple are murals reliefs of men with beards – a very unusual depiction, and hence the name. The temple opens up towards the ball court and was likely a vantage point for nobility to watch the game or the rituals below. The perfect acoustics are most evident from this vantage point,"--Chichen Itza website.
